Mod Ren'Py Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.4.2] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

[TheWalkingChinko]

(partially) enabling URM during replay is on my todo list

It'll be a pretty handy feature. Currently I am unable to get ending 8 of 8 for Deliverance. Having said feature will allow players to explore other scenes before the replay scenes by knowing the variables and hence able to choose the correct options going to the replay-able scene.

Hello there.

Can you please add font-size and amount of search result lines settings. Or m.b. just encrease amount of search result lines (with smaller font).
I tried myself - 25 (or even 30 lines, with smaller fonts and paddings) on 2k+ monitors looks better (and long strings not cut off) then 20 (all elements too big and long lines cutted with "..."). The problem is - I need to "decompile"/change/"compile" mod every time with new version. And I don't understand where some GUI settings it is.

URM scales based on the game's resolution.
But of course when you play a 1080p (or even 720p) game fullscreen/maximized on a bigger screen it will be quite big, but it will still be "normal" in comparison to the game.
I'll think about it, but don't get your hopes up, because it will introduce even more complexity in the scaling.

Thanks for developing and sharing this great tool !

Suggestion for improvement: selecting multiple variables and change their value in one go instead of having to change the value of each variable individually (Mass Edit)

Thanks. That's on my list (see request here)

Unfortunately the usual command to open the URM console, Alt+M, does not work for Shards of Her.

Did a quick test, and it's working perfectly fine on my end -- I can open the URM menu, change settings, search for variables, all the stuff.

Great that it is working for others, but odd that it is not working on my end then.
The file is in the usual game folder, but I am not seing the usual urm message when starting out or loading a save as seen in the first of your attachments. My suspicion is that it is an issue with the customized UI.

• URM version 1.15.2 (From 23rd of July 2023)
• VN/Game with issue: Shards of Her (0.3.2)
• I have no traceback file, but the log file can be seen in the spoiler below.
• The cause of the issue is unknown, the mod is not visible.
• A screenshot would not provide much info.
• URM did not show an error, it is not showing at all. The log does suggest it is loaded though.
• OS: Win 7. (See the info in the spoiler for specifics)
• No other mods are used.

0x52 URM Seems to break My Early Life. Whole lot of errors when starting the game (compressed version and origianl).

What errors are you talking about? The error when you click on Inventory? That's in the base game and you're getting that even if URM isn't installed. So what errors do you get? Please fill out a proper bug report:

Btw: I did a quick test, and it seems like URM is working perfectly fine for me with the original version of the game (haven't tested the compressed version). I can search and change all important values (money, photo/yoga/hacking skills, shyness, arousal, date as in day of week, time of day etc., even events can be marked as triggered through URM).

My Early Life Ep. 5
Bug I ran into is when you start a new game, it errors out (see attached pic)

URM 1.15.2

Original (and compressed) version

Also, with urm mod in game folder, some of the initial loading screens are skipped.

What's strange is if I load a saved game (with urm mod in game folder), it's fine.

No other mods

If I remove URM rpa package, game starts normally (start new game).

Original (and compressed) version

I've now also tested the Ep. 5 Compressed version -- I'm not getting the error you're talking about,
Whether starting a new game or loading a saved game, both work fine.

And I'm not the only one who can use URM without any issues...

 

[loqex]

Dunno what to say. strange issue.

But my work around is start game without mod, save a game, put mod back, restore save game and it works.

What if you remove your saves for this game?
(Move both game\saves and %appdata%\RenPy\<gamename> somewhere else and start a new game)

The issue was when starting from scratch, I was not loading from any save file.
But just in case I forced it to use angle 2, and then followed the suggested course of action: Deleted the saves from both locations and tried again. No dice, the result was the same, the urm mod did not show.

I did find a solution though: Making a manual save, exiting and restarting, then loading that save!
The next issue was that the renaming feature did not replace the name of the MC.
Changing the value of persistent.MC did the trick though! So, mission accomplished!

When importing save from previous version of the game (The seven Realms) URM is not working. But after I reload after I save then it is working. Maybe because it does not start normally like other games. Though it is a minor/nominal issue still I thought of mentioning it here. On another note, I cannot wait for the next update. It really is a big one, I am getting a very strong vibe. Looking forward to it.

Encountered the following error during this scene (in spoiler tag), along with the error log. The game is [The Entrepreneur] modded with the walkthrough mod on its main page.
Steps to reproduce error:
1. Open URM using Alt+M
2. Rename character

I am having this error whenever I am enabling textbox.
Game - Seeds of chaos
Using latest version of URM.
Also, there is this problem of whenever I am selecting an option and rolling back the other option is disabled. So, I cannot change that option even with URM. But when I load a previous save and play that part then I can select that other option.

 

[theMickey_]

Steps to reproduce error:
1. Open URM using Alt+M
2. Rename character

Can confirm -- I get the same error when trying to rename a character.

Here's a workaround though:
1) Instead of renaming a character, you can use "Text replacements" for the names
2) Search for variables with values = Name (i.e. value = Valentine), and change the appropriate variable

This game has some characters define, but uses variables for names that might not exist yet. I'll prevent this from crashing URM in the future.
For now you can work around this by entering those commands in the console:
catname = 'Catname'
nomduheros = 'omduheros'

I am having this error whenever I am enabling textbox.
Game - Seeds of chaos
Using latest version of URM.

I did take a look, but it not clear to me why this is happening.
Since it seems like this is the only game with this issue, I don't want to spend too much time on it.

Also, there is this problem of whenever I am selecting an option and rolling back the other option is disabled. So, I cannot change that option even with URM. But when I load a previous save and play that part then I can select that other option.

Interesting. I think this is because they block this rollback action. I will fix this in a future version of URM.
